Four people involved with the Koch Industries internship program, including, from left, College Recruiting Coordinator Jen Porter and interns Stephanie Ternes, Victor Ojeleye and Joe Woodward, shared their experiences with the WBJ this week.

That changed this year when the Wichita State University student was accepted to participate in a summer internship program at Koch Industries Inc. Now, he’s working in the accounts payable department of Invista, and he’ll keep working there this fall through a part-time co-op job through WSU.

Woodward was one of 78 paid interns this summer working with 11 different Koch companies in Wichita.

Koch’s internships attract students from across the country and often lead to full-time employment. This year, the program included students from 21 different schools, chosen from a pool of nearly 1,000 applications.

“Competition is very high. It’s definitely an honor to be a part of it,” says Victor Ojeleye, an accounting intern for Koch Fertilizer and a member of the Kansas State University basketball team.
